Timely Topics From Our Physicians for Your Healthy Life
Mona Hagmaier Shares Timely Facts about Sun Exposure and Skin Care
With temperatures rising and summer now in full swing, it is important to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun's rays, also known as ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Mona Hagmaier, a physician assistant at the University Physicians Group, said that because UV damage is difficult to reverse, it is important to protect your skin every time you are outside.
| "UV light is injurious because it damages the body's genetic material, which changes the kinds and amounts of chemicals that the skin cells make. It is these changes to the DNA that are responsible for the damaging effects of UV light, including skin cancer, premature skin aging and burning."
|Mona Hagmaier, PA-C
Hagmaier says there are several steps you can take to limit the amount of exposure to UV rays, including wearing sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 30, and applying it often for maximum protection. Hagmaier also recommends staying out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., when UV radiation is more intense, as well as wearing clothing with built-in protection.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, there are more than 3.5 million estimated cases of skin cancer detected each year, making it the most common cancer in the United States. Sadly, Hagmaier said, more than 1 million Americans still use tanning salons, which also produces dangerous UV exposure.
The Skin Cancer Foundation says that tanning beds will increase your risk of melanoma, a type of skin cancer that causes the majority of skin cancer deaths, by 75 percent. People who use tanning beds are also 1.5 times more likely to develop basal cell carcinoma, and 2.5 times more likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma.
Hagmaier said the following people are more at risk of developing melanoma than others:
• Blondes or redheads
• Fair-skinned individuals that freckle and burn easily
• A person who already has a history of melanoma
• A person who has a first-degree relative who has been
diagnosed with melanoma
• A person who has several or more moles
• Someone with an autoimmune disease such as lupus
• Someone who has had an organ transplant
The most important warning sign for melanoma, Hagmaier said, is a new spot on the skin that is changing color, shape or size. She suggests following the A-B-C-D-E rule as a guide to the signs of melanoma:
• A --asymmetry -- when one-half of a birthmark or mole does not match the other
• B - border - if the edges are blurred or irregular
• C - color - if the color includes patches of pink, black, brown, red, white or blue
• D - diameter - if the spot is larger than the size of a pencil eraser
• E - elevation or evolution - if the mole seems to be spreading or rising
Other warning signs include changes in sensation such as pain, itchiness or tenderness, or a sore that does not heal. Hagmaier said that your health care provider should check you annually as part of a routine cancer-related checkup, and you should check your skin once a month at home in front of a full-length mirror in a well-lit room.
"It is important that you learn the pattern of freckles, moles and spots on your body so you will notice any changes over time," she said. "If you find something suspicious, you should see a health care provider with training in biopsying skin cancers immediately."

Akin, a Hokes Bluff native, recalled many TRS-80 owners connected their machines to televisions to serve as a monitor, and he used a cassette player as his data storage device.
His uncle, a Jacksonville State University professor, gave him a computer-programming textbook and by age 13, he was typing code.
"I was a bit of a nerd," said Akin.
Now, more than 30 years later, as superintendent of Piedmont City Schools, Akin gives much more powerful computers to each of the district's students through a project called mPower Piedmont.
The effort, funded by millions in grants and more than $1 million in local funds, has brought national recognition and awards to Piedmont's schools. Officials credit the program with raising graduation rates, getting more students to college and changing the public perception of the school system of about 1,200 students.
For his leadership in the technology project, The Anniston Star on Thursday named Akin its 2014 Citizen of the Year.
Anniston Star publisher Brandt Ayers presented the award during the Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting at the Oxford Civic Center.
Ayers said people in large cities often look down on small towns such as Piedmont. He said his time working as an editor at The Piedmont Journal helped him see what everyone at Thursday's luncheon already knew: that what policymakers do in Washington, D.C., is felt in small towns across America.
"It starts here, and it ends here," he said, joking that things often get clogged up in the nation's capital.
Ayers said Akin and his school district's technology effort defy the idea that small towns are inconsequential.
After Thursday's ceremony, Akin said the honor should be for the school system and the people of Piedmont.
"We're very fortunate to have so many people in our community who share our vision of changing education through technology and innovation," he said.
Drive for excellence
Bob Davis, editor and associate publisher of The Star, said there's no obvious reason for education reformers across the nation to think much about Piedmont.
"Yet, because of Matt Akin and his drive for excellence in Piedmont schools this school district is a shining example of how stellar leadership drives good schools."
Consider the results:
- The district's graduation rate ranked fourth in the state in 2012, at 94 percent. That's compared to a state average of 75 percent.
- Sixty-two percent of Piedmont's class of 2012 went on to state colleges. That's compared to an average of 52 percent for Alabama high school graduates.
- Only 20 percent of the college-bound students in Piedmont's class of 2012 needed remediation, compared to a state average of 33 percent.
- Since 2010, Piedmont students' participation in the ACT increased from 58 percent to 68 percent. The ACT is a standardized test used for college admissions.
Akin, 45, said his vision of getting every student access to the best technology comes from a belief that doing so will allow students of rural, lower-income schools to compete with others from larger, more affluent districts.
To get laptops in the hands of every student in the fourth through 12th grades, the school system in 2010 started a four-year lease with Apple computers at a cost of $850,000; $150,000 came from a federal grant.
A $160,000 grant from Susie Parker Stringfellow Health Fund of the Community Foundation of Northeast Alabama helped provide computers and tablet devices to Piedmont children in kindergarten through third grade starting in 2012.
Piedmont's schools and a Wetumpka-based technology company set up a citywide wireless Internet system in 2012. The project cost $1.5 million, with $867,000 coming from a grant from the Federal Communications Commission. The city of Piedmont agreed to give the school system most of a $6,500 monthly payment from the technology company. The company offers the payment in exchange for using city-owned data cables. But the city has since stopped the payments and the grant is finished. Now leaders in Piedmont are discussing how the school district can afford the $20,000 monthly payments for the network.
"I do believe it's a difference-maker," Akin said, explaining that the system's technology initiative can't work if teachers have to worry about which students have Internet access.
Other approaches
According to Akin, the district emphasized professional development for teachers, offering bonuses for educators who earn certification from the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards. Twenty-two percent of the school district's teachers are National Board certified, compared to 3 percent statewide.
As great as the improvements are, Akin said Piedmont school officials weren't thinking about test data when they launched the technology initiative and other enrichment programs, such as robotics competitions and film courses.
"That doesn't show up in graduation scores, but it does in lifelong learning and attitudes toward education," he said.
Since starting the technology project in 2010, Piedmont City Schools have received several national honors:
- A 2011 U.S. News and World Report study ranked Piedmont High No. 2 in a list of the "Most Connected Classrooms" in the nation.
- Piedmont High was named one of the Department of Education's 2012 Blue Ribbon Schools, given to schools that make significant efforts in closing achievement gaps.
- Piedmont High was the only Alabama public school to be named an Apple Distinguished School for the 2010-11 school year. The computer company gives the award to schools that "demonstrate Apple's highest vision of a successful 21st century learning environment, a strong relationship with Apple and a willingness to do outreach activities."
- In 2012, the school district was invited to join the League of Innovative Schools, a network with 35 member schools recognized for speeding up the pace of education technology and sharing those techniques with other educators.
Akin was one of nine nominees for the state's Superintendent of the Year award in 2011.
Sharing the vision
Piedmont High Principal Adam Clemons said Akin's understanding of technology has been pivotal in making the program work, but just as important to the project, he said, are efforts by Akin and other school officials to prioritize the district's budget.
Education Week, a popular newsletter among teachers and administrators, named Piedmont City Schools one of the most cost-efficient districts in the state in 2011.
Clemons has used the national recognition to invite area lawmakers and business owners to tour his school and learn about the technology program. He said he hopes the project will bring businesses to the area and keep some of the students in the community.
"Maybe that will lead to a factory moving in here," he said.
Clemons said Akin attends most of the meetings to explain the process to guests.
"Since it's his vision, he's able to share that with folks," Clemons said about Akin.
Path to Piedmont
Akin graduated from Hokes Bluff High School in 1987 and received a bachelor's degree in secondary education-mathematics from JSU in 1990.
He went to work as a computer science teacher for Anniston City Schools and then became the district's technology coordinator.
Akin said that during his time in Anniston, he watched the district's technology program swell. Thanks to grants and donations from groups like the Department of Energy and Alabama Power, the system's computer room grew from the size of a storage closet to a technology center that was wired for the Internet in the mid-'90s.
Akin remembered one day in which volunteers from the community helped educators lay cable to network all of the district's elementary schools.
"It was there I saw the power of community involvement," he said.
Akin earned a master's degree from the University of Alabama in 1994.
In 1999, Akin became the technology director for the Piedmont City Schools. By his second year there, he was hired as principal of the high school.
As principal, he started a small program to give 25 students laptop computers. He said that for years, he'd read about how giving each student a device could increase his or her engagement in class.
In 2003, the Piedmont Board of Education hired Akin as superintendent.
Michael Ingram, who became a board member in 2010 and has two children in the school system, said Akin's vision goes beyond the classroom and includes how the school system will make an impact on the entire area.
"That really impressed me, his heart for the children in our community," he said.

"We ordered this RSVP card to go with our invitation, Bubbly Borders. The designer matched the colors perfectly and we were very pleased. They looked like they were made to go together."
"This invitation was just what I wanted: classy yet cheerful. The touch of color communicates the spirit of a joyful occasion. Friends agree that it is lovely and perfect. I was thrilled with the quality of the cardstock and envelopes, and the printing was flawless."
"The invitations were terrific! When creating my personalization, I realized that some of the text wrapped around to a second line. Although I wasn't able to fix this, the customer service/graphics folks were wonderful with my requests and made perfect edits. The overall product was even better than what I expected from the online order page. Thank you."
"I used this invitation for a baby naming. We added Hebrew letters and the tiny prints staff was wonderful at working with me to get it done. The results were beautiful and exactly what we wanted."
"The invitation turned out very nice. It has shades of light purple in it which are more difficult to see online. The online chat was helpful when I needed to have more room for some words. They were able to explain that the graphic designers would be able to fix it and send a photo of the actual final product before it was printed."

Grief understanding and reactions
Children of this age often connect events that are unrelated. For example, if Grandpa has a headache and died, a child may fear that mommy is going to die because she has a headache.
They may also think they caused the death by their thoughts, words or actions. Death may also cause a child to have feelings of insecurity. A child may fear being separated from those close to him.
Preschoolers' language and expressions are limited. During stressful times you may see a child change his behavior, such as:
Preschoolers view death as passing. The concept of forever is beyond their understanding, and they may believe the dead person will return.
How adults can help
Use simple, truthful statements, such as John died last night. When someone dies his body stops working. His body will never work again. This means John will no longer play or eat dinner with us.
Tell the child that the death is not their fault. Explain that they did not cause the death to happen by thinking or saying anything about the deceased person.
Realize that regressive behaviors or changes in behavior are common with childhood grief. They will normally pass as the child progresses in the grieving process. Be patient and supportive during these times. Maintain daily routines when possible to increase their sense of security.
Preschoolers need to hear reassuring words, such as our family is going to be OK, but we are very sad right now because we miss Jane so much.

Rating: 4.67 out of 12 votes cast
I just returned from a theater event where the Big Sur by Sunset shirt was my choice for the outing. I must say I was stunning and I am sure all agreed.
Corona, Calif.
Nice for work or casual
Lovely construction and colors are nicely understated. Another TTA winner!
Spokane, WA
Nice fabric, funny collar
The fabric on this shirt is a great weight, the colors are muted and really nice. My only complaint is the collar - it's slightly taller and stiffer than on most other TA shirts, even when the button-down collar is unbuttoned. Hopefully it will soften up after a few washes. Otherwise, it's a great shirt.
SF Bay Area, CA
Attention Getter
Something about this shirt attracts attention. People notice the subtle colors and the hidden button down collar and comment favorably. I tell them it's from TA and say check out the website, there's lots of good stuff.
san francisco
exceptional casual yet stylish shirt
love the colors, fit, fabric and stylish look of the shirt, plus getting it on sale made it an even better bargain. an excellent shirt with a pair of jeans or casual pants.
aurora co
Somewhat Versatile
This shirt is easily worn with jeans or khakis. I haven't tried it with a tie but I think this would work too. Overall this shirt is average but probably worth owning even if a little expensive.
Northern California
Don't pass this one by
If the Territory Ahead is in your style then this is a must have shirt. I wear this shirt for work and play because it is cool and classy, but has a lot of character to it up close. It's loose fit means comfort whether you are sitting in a meeting or rolling up your sleeves outdoors. Combine with a sport coat and you have a dinner for two that won't disappoint.
New York
Great item
Love this shirt! Soft texture and holds up well. Great casual shirt or can be worn dressy. Love it!
took off the collar buttons
I didnt like the collar with the hidden button down so I took off the buttons - now the shirt is good. A little tight at the underarms. Also had to snip off a few stray threads. Like the color and fabric.

You were stunning
I too was at the same Theatre Event as HR1320, Corona, and he was, indeed, stunning. I am ordering the shirt today!

I HAD FUN!!! – Went to see Venice last weekend and had a great time. We made dinner reservations and got great seats. Our server was Geneva and she was very sweet and attentive to us the entire evening. The band was amazing but could have been mixed a little softer my wife thinks :) ... We both had a great dinner, I had the NY stake and my wife had the chicken. I will definitely be returning to the galaxy for more shows. I was surprised to see the bad reviews so i though i would post my experiences.
The Concentration Camp – staff and sound engineers were the rudest people ive met in my life, bar tender ignored me for 8 minutes waiting to get a beer and finally took my order, over priced food, cocky ex highschool jocks who did not make it in life soo took a job as a bouncer here to boss kids around half their size, the place scehdules bands that promote racisim and ignorance and does not say anything to stop it...hmm either racisim sells or maybe they embrace it? went to a show claiming they would scan and keep out nazis from the club, it went very well because 3/4 was filled with white trash inbred a**holes running their mouth and throwing zeik heils during music sets which ruined the show.
PS galaxy if you want to obtain more business and actually fill shows up, stop promoting racial bands and hire a new staff of people who want to work and not waste company money by having a few beers behind the bar while customers are waiting.
The Galaxy SUX
The Galaxy SUX
Advice first....review second....
If you really must attend a show at the Galaxy....first, eat dinner elsewhere. Also, make sure to have a few drinks before your arrival. Plan on arriving late (after the horribly pathetic excuses for openers the Galaxy dredges from the bowels of rock-n-roll). Arrive already well-fed and well-drank. Go directly to the "dance-floor" and get as close as possible to your favorite band....and don't order or pay for a single item (food or beverage). Just enjoy the show, and hope for decent sound.
Now...on to the review:
It used to be that Mr. Folgner had a clue how to run an intimate and compelling show venue. Unfortunately, the newly re-opened Galaxy is none of that...and WORSE.
One would think revenue to be a driving force behind business decisions. How then does one explain an absolutely barren, almost non-existenet beer selection, priced northward of $5 per bottle....served WARM? It's bad enough there are no decent drinkable beers offered....but...served WARM?? Also, how might an even modestly managed bar "run out" of major brand liqour and then only offer up cheap well-brand garbage?
Bottom line...the drinks SUCK...the food SUX worse (you're better off at drive-thru fast food, than the shoe leather substitutes they serve up under the guise of steak or chicken)...the service is non-existent...over 40 minutes before one can even place a dinner order)...the sound is painfully pathetic (FOH and monitor engineers must come from the same school of thought as other Galaxy staff)....the seating is worse than a multi-purpose room at an elementary school (if Folgner paid over $3 per chair, he was robbed)....the staff is arrogant and apathetic (and did I mention SLLOOOWW)...the management could absolutely care less....
Need I continue??
Skip this place in favor of a venue and staff that appreciate your choice to spend your hard-earned money, and go see a decent local band at the Dubliner in Tustin (GREAT food, beer, booze, service and management), or a touring band the Grove of Anaheim (similarly spectacular food, booze, and service) or even head up to Club Nokia in L.A. for a real and well-managed intimate concert venue (again, GREAT service, booze and food and sound).
Folgner needs to fold this hand and concentrate on only the Coach House....which, one might expect or assume has or may be headed in a similar direction since the re-opening of the Galaxy??!!
Somehow, the talent, ability, passion, concentration, and / or the fortitude to effectively manage 2 venues at once is missing. Did I mention: The Galaxy SUX. Hey, great stage though...but lose the poles.
To bad - could be a great place – DO go to the Galaxy for the performances - the stage is pretty nice.
- DO NOT go to the Galaxy for dinner.
- Do NOT go to the Galaxy for drinks.
- Do NOT go to the Galaxy for service.
Food is bad, drinks are lousy, very limited selection, horrible service, very restrictive rules. Not customer friendly.
Editorial Review – Vegas-style theatre features an eclectic mix of pop, rock and punk--both big names and up-and-comers--with an emphasis on local talent.
Good Theater with dinner – As dinner theaters go, this is a good one. The accoustics are good, and you can wander onto the dance floor -- to dance or just to press against the stage. It's a better place to hear music than eat, but the tables are arranged around the stage for good site lines, and the quality of the entrees doesn't distract from the show.

Fantasy Impact: The Phoenix Coyotes have signed forward David Moss to a two-year contract. Phoenix's medical staff rejoices...
Phoenix gets: a Band-Aid Boy winger whose upside has taken a massive hit as a result of so many injuries over the past several years. He's big, he's strong and he plays hard - which often puts him on the shelf. In his only full NHL season he scored 20 goals. But he missed 18 games three seasons ago, 24 games two seasons ago and 50 games last year.
Fantasy Players Impacted: Shane Doan's replacement? Maybe if he rarely got hurt and was able to reach his upside. Maybe. But that didn't happen, so the point is moot. The Coyotes should consider themselves lucky if he plays 60 games and gets 35 points. So Raffi Torres' replacement is more apt. But he's a winger, so any winger trying desperately to crack the lineup is hurt by this signing. Namely, Brett MacLean

The idea that athletes are made and not born has become increasingly popular ever since Malcolm Gladwell introduced the 10,000-hour rule in his bestselling book The Outliers.
The rule is based on research by Swedish psychologist Anders Ericsson of Florida State University, who claims that with the exception of genetic traits like height and weight, exceptional performance in any given field is the result of 10,000 hours of what he terms "deliberate practice." Further reinforced by now-famous home-movie clips of elite athletes like Tiger Woods and Wayne Gretzky playing golf and hockey as preschoolers, the theory suggests that the road to Olympic gold and professional sports is paved with thousands of hours of sport-specific practice and repetition.
"The distinctive characteristics of exceptional performers are the result of adaptations to extended and intense practice activities that selectively activate dormant genes that are contained within all healthy individuals," states Ericsson in a 2009 publication titled Toward a Science of Exceptional Achievement: Attaining Superior Performance Through Deliberate Practice.
As convinced as Gladwell and Ericsson are that practice makes perfect, there are plenty of other researchers who suggest that success is more complex than simply putting in the hours.
"While one can certainly admit that extensive practice can and does entail physiological changes in individuals, it is patent nonsense that every healthy child or adult need simply engage in extensive, deliberate and motivated practice to attain expert performance," said Phillip Ackerman, a psychologist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, in a paper titled Nonsense, Common Sense, and Science of Expert Performance: Talent and Individual Differences.
And while nobody denies the importance of skill developed over thousands of hours of practice, for every Serena Williams and LeBron James there are late bloomers like 12-time all-star NBA basketball player Hakeem Olajuwon, who picked up a basketball for the first time at age 15, and Montreal Canadiens star Larry Robinson, who learned to skate at age 13.
Part of what makes determining the origins of athletic success so difficult is the specificity of sport. Some sports, like diving and gymnastics, not only demand a high degree of skill and early deliberate practice, but also a certain body type. Potential superstars are identified early, usually based on select genetic traits, and then subjected to thousands of hours of practice.
Elite runners and Olympic bobsledders are at the other end of the spectrum; a significant part of their success is based on good physiology. Aerobic power (VO2 max), the engine that fuels a runner's performance, is thought to almost 50 per cent genetically determined. The same goes for muscle mass and strength, necessary attributes for internationally ranked bobsledders.
In fact, practice has proven that elite skeleton athletes can be developed within 10 weeks of their first exposure to the sport, which involves travelling at high speeds down a mountain in a prone position on a small sled. Athletes are chosen based on their sprint times, body type and muscular power, most of which were developed in other sports, and then exposed to deliberate practice that is significantly below 10,000 hours.
Other experts in the field believe that successful athletes are more than just genetically blessed humans who have honed their skills through hours of practice. Personality traits like perseverance and an unyielding passion for their particular sport are also considered necessary attributes for any athlete who dreams of stepping on an Olympic podium or making it into the pro ranks. Then there's the importance of family and financial support, which many successful athletes have acknowledged as critical to their success.
Most elite sport organizations have developed their own model to identify and hone talent. Athletic success starts with kids choosing the sport they want to play followed by hours of practice and games that effectively funnel the most talented and experienced to the next level of development while others not suited to the sport leave to pursue other interests. This natural selection process continues through the amateur, collegial and national ranks, where only those equipped with experience honed through practice, a desire to win and the genetic traits necessary to excel in the sport will continue to the top of the podium.
Exercise physiologist Ross Tucker from the University of Cape Town calls this process "the realization of genetic potential," which he says is unique to every athlete.
Forcing kids to put in thousands of hours practising their skills or choosing athletes solely on their physiological makeup is short-sighted in terms of achieving athletic success. Instead, kids should be encouraged to pick a sport they love and stick with it as long as they're still enjoying themselves. No athlete makes it to the podium based on practice or genetics alone. Champions aren't just born or bred, they're nurtured.

Texas Health Winnsboro Receives Financial Awards for Quality
WINNSBORO, Texas — Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Winnsboro will receive financial awards from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for performing well in a national quality incentive project.
The hospital will receive awards totaling $1,997 for attaining or exceeding quality benchmarks in two areas of care measured in the Premier-CMS health care alliance Hospital Quality Incentive Demonstration (HQID) pay-for-performance project. The hospital attained or exceeded benchmarks for the care of patients with heart failure and pneumonia.
"Health care consumers in Winnsboro and surrounding areas should be proud to know the community hospitals that have served them for decades are recognized for continual improvements in quality," said Texas Health Winnsboro President Patsy Youngs. "These awards represent a lot of hard work and effort to continually raise the bar for the quality of care we provide to the communities we serve."
Incentive payments were distributed to Texas Health hospitals between July 22 and Aug. 7. The Premier pay-for-performance project is one of many measurements Texas Health hospitals use to benchmark and improve quality. These results are from the fourth year of the HQID project. Texas Health has participated in the project since its inception in October 2003.
The HQID project is the first national project of its kind, designed to determine if economic incentives to hospitals are effective at improving the quality of inpatient care. Through the project, Premier collects a set of more than 30 evidence-based clinical quality measures from more than 250 hospitals across the country.
An analysis of mortality rates at hospitals participating in the project indicated that improvements made in the quality of care saved an estimated 4,700 heart attack patients nationwide during its first four years, according to Premier Inc. In addition, more than 1.5 million patients treated in five clinical areas at participating HQID hospitals received approximately 500,000 additional recommended evidence-based clinical quality measures, such as smoking cessation, discharge instructions and pneumococcal vaccination, during that same timeframe.
The average Composite Quality Scores (CQS), an aggregate of all quality measures within each clinical area, improved significantly between the inception of the program and the end of Year 4 in all five clinical focus areas:
Hospitals participating in the project have three opportunities to receive financial incentives:
All results from the quality demonstration project will be made public on the Web sites for Premier and CMS.

- Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Heat the oil in a roasting tin, then carefully add the chicken pieces. Brown them lightly on all sides – it will take about 6-8 mins. Pour over the jerk sauce, scatter over the sliced spring onions, then toss to coat each piece of chicken.
- Roast the chicken for 30 mins, turning occasionally to ensure it gets nice and sticky.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the rice & peas. Rinse the rice in a sieve until the water runs clear. Bring a pan of water to the boil with the liquid only from the kidney beans, the coconut milk, spring onions, thyme, garlic, allspice and some salt, then simmer for 10 mins. Add the beans, then simmer for 5 mins more until the rice is tender. Drain and serve straight away with the chicken.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, August 2009
Comments, questions and tips
Section 3 has not been input correctly. Here is the correct method I got from my old Good food mag.
Rinse the rice in a sieve until the water runs clear. Bring a pan of water to the boil, adding the liquid from the kidney beans ( don't add the beans yet though), add the rice, coconut milk, spring onions, thyme, garlic, allspice and some salt, then simmer for 10 mins. Add the beans and simmer for 5 mins more until the rice is tender. Drain and serve with the chicken.
I have to agree with lots of other comments on this recipe. The instructions for the rice are confusing. It suggests what sounds like the reduction method, but then at the end says to drain the rice! The result was a bland, disappointing meal. If you are after a nice dinner I would recommend NOT making this recipe.
im unable to see on the recipe the amount of peas to add, or when to add them. this seems like a rushed advert for regge sauce which in its self is average at best. Levi roots you are a sell out. bbc food you are just as bad for posting this on your website. you might as well put a recipie on here for pasta mixed with ketchup and butter.
This is such a bad recipe. I don't understand the instructions about the rice. It says bring water to boil but only use liquid from coconut milk and beans (so do i add water or not and if so how much?) Also when does the rice go in?
Just pouring sauce over chicken doesn't warrant a recipe either. Next they'll be one saying boil spaghetti and add dolmio sauce ;-)
I would not cook this at all as the recipe is laid out, too many contradictions for me.
But my issue here is the recipe is for those unfamiliar with cooking yet it does not address any issue they may have. It is a poor recipe. It would have been much better if the person who created the recipe for levi's sauce had written it, or if at least he had gone back to his roots(sorry)!
For me the jerk is the guitar playing entrepreneur.
sorry Levi I liked you better when you were poor!
This is not a recipe, this is how to pour a pre-made sauce onto chicken....
If you want to make actual Jerk Chicken here's a recipe and it's bloody good!
I have not tried this recipe, but after the comments I just want to say in aug 2012 GF there is a recipe for Jerk chicken with rice and peas and NOT out of a bottle. I have mine from that recipe cooking away now with my unwashed rice and peas steaming. Same recipe as above for the rice and peas. I will update you on how it turns out.
Not a good recipe - as someone else said it doesn't even say when to add the rice. Not to mention the fact he just happens to use his own sauce!? Wasn't like jerk chicken at all, also what is the point in browning the skin if you're going to cover it in sauce? It's not as if it will remain crispy after that...
As a Jamaican, I must say, we never drain rice and definitely never rice and peas. A Jamaican's way of preparing rice is by absorption and when done well, rice and peas is finger licking good. Some of us use salted pigs tail as well.
We do not generally prepare jerk seasoning from scratch but often in the home use walkerswood jerk seasoning (not jerk barbq) to give the authentic Jamaican flavour. Preparation from scratch: pimento, scotch bonnet pepper, ginger, paprika, salt, oil as well as some standard seasoning.

Aerospace Engineering Hosts Symposium to Celebrate NASA Space Shuttle Program
Posted March 30, 2011 | Atlanta, GA
Registration is now open for NASA's Space Shuttle symposium, which will be held June 6-8 on campus and hosted by the Georgia Tech School of Aerospace Engineering.
The symposium is dedicated to honoring and celebrating the contributions of men and women from the U.S. and around the world who dedicated their careers to the success of space missions in the Shuttle Era. The Space Shuttle program has spanned three decades of operation and its storied saga is coming to an end with STS Mission 135 scheduled in June 2011. The technical advances made possible by the program have touched everyone on this planet, and opened our eyes both to the wonders of the planet we all share and to the mysteries of the deep space beyond. As this time of remarkable accomplishments draws to a close, it is important that we pause to honor those who contributed to its design, operation, and success, and reflect on the lessons from this complex system, a true turning point in mankind's voyage into space.
This symposium will bring together an international group of scientists, technologists, engineers, mission designers, policy makers and students with an interest in learning from the significant contributions of the shuttle era and in exchanging ideas to promote future collaboration and continued leadership in space science and engineering. The symposium scope includes topics of the Shuttle Era-its history, technical and scientific achievements, the orbiter, propulsion, structures and thermal protection, system and mission flight operations, ground operations, current and future vehicle concepts and designs, astronaut safety provisions and two panel discussions focusing on "lessons learned" and international collaboration.
Registration for the symposium is officially open and participation in this unparalleled look at the space shuttle is strongly encouraged. Those who attend will assuredly garner a fond appreciation for NASA's advances over the years and will walk away with a strong knowledge of the history and milestones reached during the Shuttle Era. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a groundbreaking and historic event.

After treatment for appendix cancer ends, talk with your doctor about developing a follow-up care plan. This plan may include regular physical examinations and/or medical tests to monitor your recovery for the coming months and years. People treated for appendix cancer will generally need to follow up with an oncologist, a surgeon, or an internal medicine specialist to watch for a recurrence. Symptoms of a recurrence in the abdomen include pain, nausea, blood in the stool, severe bloating, and cramping. CT or MRI scans may be recommended as part of follow-up care.
ASCO offers cancer treatment summary forms to help keep track of the cancer treatment you received and develop a survivorship care plan once treatment is completed.
People recovering from appendix cancer are encouraged to follow established guidelines for good health, such as maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, eating a balanced diet, and having recommended cancer screening tests. Talk with your doctor to develop a plan that is best for your needs. Moderate physical activity can help rebuild your strength and energy level. Your doctor can help you create an appropriate exercise plan based upon your needs, physical abilities, and fitness level. Learn more about the next steps to take in survivorship, including making positive lifestyle changes.

Defense Finance and Accounting Service recently released a statement warning of email scams targeting military members, military retirees, and civilian employees.
According to the statement, the most recent email scam indicates that individuals who are receiving disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs may be able to obtain additional funds from the Internal Revenue Service, but only if they send copies of their income tax information.
Scammers have even gone so far as to "spoof" DFAS email addresses so that the recipients would think it was actually coming from DFAS personnel. In a spoofing email, the scammer makes it appear that the message is coming from a legitimate source. This is to try to lure the reader into believing it's genuine.
"(Scammers) manage to find a way to appear legitimate when they're not," said Edward Peace, the senior cyberwarfare instructor for the 39th Information Operations Squadron at Hurlburt Field, Fla. "In some cases, it looks like it's from a legitimate source, but in other cases if you inspect it just a little bit deeper, just looking at where the email came from you would be tipped off right way. But most people don't look at it; They just look at the content, it looks legitimate and they go from there."
To fool people, Peace said, the scam artist may create a server so that the URL is close to that of a legitimate site, for example using .mic instead of .mil at the end of the Web address. People can avoid these scams by closely reading the address from which the email was sent.
Though these scam artists have found ways to spoof the DFAS email address, this does not mean that customer accounts were compromised.
"We have not had an incident that has threatened our security or the accounts of our customers," said Steve Burghardt, a DFAS media relations officer. "We are always on the lookout. And we're taking steps to (educate) folks."
To that end, DFAS officials are developing pages on their website to highlight their official email policy, examples of scam emails and law enforcement agencies that can initiate an investigation.
DFAS officials are also trying to make this information readily available via myPay, Burghardt said.
"That's our biggest concern," he said. "As long as you keep your login credentials private and to yourself, then your account is pretty much assured a fairly decent amount of security. But if you give that away or give out that information that people can use to get new credentials ... I can always impersonate you and say, 'I lost my login credentials, get me a new one.'"
Besides getting their personal information stolen, people can also fall victim to computer attacks by even opening these emails.
For example, if there are HTML attachments or links in the email, they can drop malware on the computer, usually a Trojan horse, Peace said. If this happens, the Trojan will call out to wherever they want it to and start to do series of different things, such as loading more malware on the computer or turn the computer into part of a botnet. In the latter scenario, one's computer is taken over by a hacker, made part of a larger network and used mostly for nefarious purposes.
In order to avoid falling victim to these computer viruses and malware, people using commercial email accounts should immediately erase these scam emails, Peace said. Service members who receive these types of email on their .mil accounts should immediately notify their network administrator.

great friendly work. – Leo is friendly and professional. I appreciated that he was able to do a couple of jobs for me at the last minuet. His work was clean and quick. I would recommend this business to people with no hesitation.
Quick, friendly and did a good job – My new place had a couple leaks so I called. They were the 1st of 4 places to answer there phones. I was able to schedule someone right away to come fix the leaks in my new place. The man who showed up examined the pipes and found several more leaks that I didnt see. He has in all taken care of in 4 hours. The new leaks didnt increase the price.
Read my review...they';re worth 5 stars... – I've been a real estate broker for over 20 years and I value a good quality plumber that I can rely on and trust to refer to my clients...my first time experience with Meticulous Plumbing was one of the best I've come across with any tradesman. Imagine this scenario: its Monday morning, I'm vunerable, I sold my home and have a home inspectin on Tuesday , I don't know anything about plumbing, my water heater is spewing water on the basement and I'm in a jam...Chris came out from Meticulous Plumbing, said he might be able to fix it for $172 (he gave me the worst case senario though, a new water heater, yikes!) and I trusted his judgement. The bill: $172-less the $50 Internet coupon. Give them a try...
experienced and fast – Like anyone else: when plumbing goes wrong it, it goes wrong.
We needed a plumber who knew what they were doing to arrive quick. Meticulous guys showed up before there was a major clean up. Very quick, nice and experienced.
It wasnt their first rodeo and were really glad they could be here for us.
Best Plumber in Portland – I'm so glad I hired Meticulous Plumbing to fix my toilet. When my toilet first broke, I called one of the big name plumbers in town to assess it and was quoted a price of over $1000, which would entail having to cut and remove pipes below my toilet. I'm sure glad I looked for a 2nd opinion and called Meticulous Plumbing. Leo came to my house and was able to quickly fix my toilet without any major surgery for not much more than $300. The service was fast, friendly, and painless. In addition, Leo answered my questions about my kitchen faucet and even showed me how to replace it myself. I suggest to anyone that wants reliable, trustworthy service without getting ripped off to give Meticulous Plumbing a call. You will be glad you did.
Honest, Hardworking, and Excellent Work – That it is a small family owned business. They are personable, honest, and help you to understand what the options are for your plumbing needs without trying to sell you a bunch of stuff. They do excellent work are clean and left me with a good feeling that I would want them to serve my family and friends as well.
Clear Explanations, courteous service – I had a bad water heater and a leak in an upstairs bathroom that was staining the ceiling downstairs. Leo, from Meticulous, gave me a clear explanation of my choices regarding the water heater, including the befits and drawbacks of the various option. He installed a new tankless water heater in the attic of my two story townhouse and my overly-clean wife could not even tell someone had been there after he worked all day on the project. He is that neat. He located and stopped the leak. When a fawcet he worked on continued to leak, he was immediately back to make good on his work. I will call Meticulous for all my future plumbing needs.

Impressed! Finally!! – My water heater died last week, so I called Meticulous - liked the name. The person on the phone scheduled a time to come out the same day, then I received a call 30 min before the appointment to say they were on their way(THANK YOU). Leo gave me several options with clear explanations and prices. When the water heater was installed, he cleaned up any mess and went over what was done. I would and will definitely recommend them!

What a bad experience, I was told my vehical had "dangerouse fuel leaks and brakes" by Linda and 4,000.00+ worth of additional repairs. when i asked how long to do the repairs they said 1/2 a day, so 4,000 for 4hrs worth of work........ i dont think so.
I confirmed my suspition with a second opinion and
1. no fuel leaks were found
2. needed brakes in the next 10 to 15,000 miles
what a rip off......
im so mad because i sent my mom there one time and she got slammed with 1500 in a brake job, no more
go elsewhere, any where weelsewhere!!!!!!!!!
second try to get this printed for the web veiwers but they keep blocking it
Overall this was the best car buying experience I have ever had. In fact I bought the Certified E-350 that night and also bought a 2011 GLK. John Wahl was exceptional and should be your dealership's employee of the month. I came in to test drive an E-350 and walked away with 2 vehicles. What more can I say, other than he was an exceptional sales rep, and I would be happy to refer business to him anytime. When I need a car again I am definitely looking for John.
Over all, a great experience!
I am so thankful that Brett was our sales person the day we came in! It was his first sale and I must say, he did an OUTSTANDING JOB! He will outperform all of your sales staff! Plus Trent was outstanding as well and was Eugene! A big thanks to all of you at MBW!
We're very happy, thanks! :)
Katie O'Neill surpass all my expectation of buying a Mercedes. "Oustanding Customer Service" well done. I am very satified that Katie went over and beyond to get me in a new car.
Truly outstanding service.
Katie O'Neill surpass all my expectation of buying a Mercedes. "Oustanding Customer Service" well done. This was a great first experience with this dealership. I feel like I found a new friend and will definitly come back for service. Thank you!
Haley was absolutely incredible!! She was patient and did everything she could to make sure our needs were met. She has continued to help with minor problems such as a glitch in the dvd player. I could not be happier!! Thank you so much!!
Ryan in sales was a pleasure to deal with also Ryan in service .
Love Love my car, and was extremely happy with the whole process!!!!
